Randall Cobb (@rcobb18) is a Pro-Bowl wide receiver for the Green Bay Packers but more importantly a loyal friend, a wonderful husband, an incredible teammate, a father-to-be and a role model who doesn’t take the title lightly.
Friends for almost 10 years now, Randall and Justine have gone through many of life’s walks together from his rookie season in Green Bay, to battling injuries and depression, his marriage to to his beautiful wife Aiyda in NYC last year and the joy of finding out they would be having a little boy this August.
In this episode, Justine and Randall talk about how his childhood dreams became a reality, playing in the NFL, attending Kentucky over his home state school Tennessee, the tests and trials that come with fame and being a role model, the importance of mental health, the journey of finding oneself, he and Aiyda’s incredible wedding and the brotherhood he has developed with his teammates Aaron Rodgers and Jordy Nelson over the years.
